This sounds like a difficult situation. I don't know how difficult it is to rerecord, but that sound like a good option. Is it possible to first have the translators practice with native speakers so the pronunciation is correct? Another idea is to explore the possibility of native speakers recording how they would do it, the ones who noted the mispronunciations? 

On another note, is it possible to have native speakers retell these scripture even though the pronunciation is incorrect? Again, the idea that they are the ones correcting.

All the best,

Jim
